Lorenzo has been with Pixio since the beginning. He has been coding since he was 12 years old
as an intern at a software company. Though he does not relate to Veterinarians, his super power
is in connecting with people because he’s done a little bit of everything so there’s always a way
to relate. Lorenzo is a graduate from the University of Utah and spends his time with Pixio
determining the direction of the company, making decisions, thinking and finding the best
people—people who have a talent and people who need that talent. The thing Lorenzo can’t live
without? Tension.

Matt has been with Pixio since the beginning and been coding for 20 years. The University of

even exists. He also has a flyer jet suit. Matt’s day to day activities begin drowned in email, he
reaches the surface then rides above the waves and onto the winds of pure coded logic. Though
sometimes he gets snatched out of the air by tendrils of administrative work. The thing Matt can’t
live without? Air, his wife and a side of fries.
